That brick. mansard roofed Second Empire style house on the next to the last row of photos appears to be out in the country. Somebody really should rescue it from collapsing, it’s too nice for such a fate. Heck, most of them are, it’s just sickening for an architecture and history buff such as myself.
Never been to Detroit (and certainly don’t want to visit now). The city looks post-apocalyptic.
This is about 2 miles further out. In the mid-late 50s it was a brand-new development of cheaply-built cookie-cutter single-family homes, each with a sapling in the middle of the front yard, for a newly-prosperous middle class. I can't tell which one I lived in, and it might not even be in this picture. It's still not fancy, but these 50 - 60 year old houses are not falling apart.
What a contrast to nearby Detroit. *Something* made a huge difference.
